No, TSMC's revenue is $40B, it's market cap (the minimum cost if someone tried to buy it right now) is $389B.

The largest version of GPT-3 is 175B parameters, which is ~350GB. I frequently use 8x and 10x RTX8000 boxes (and can access a 16x JBOG system as well), and the 8x system would have 384GB of VRAM. These sort of systems start off at only ~$60

There is a difference between what the PRC says and reality; they have absolutely no control of Taiwan and no country (including the PRC) actually believes that the Chinese Communist Party has any true influence/power over Taiwan. So e

But it is not, and if the PRC tried doing that there would be a major military conflict that would result in TSMC not existing for the PRC's taking.

"Snapdragon" is a core designed by Qualcomm (based on ARM IP), which is a fabless semiconductor company, and has no relation to Huawei. TSMC is a semiconductor foundry (fab) company that does not design any chips but manufacturers

Assuming when you say China you mean the UN recognized "China", then they do not have any control over TSMC.

Title is wrong; Kitty Hawk is not shutting down... they are winding down their "Flyer" project (for sub 250lb flight) and focusing on their "Heaviside" plane that is much more capable.

Me too; sadly we had silicon that ran great (We had better performance per watt for FP32 and FP64 on 28nm process vs the A100's 7nm GFLOPs/watt) but targeting a market that had 3 customers that didn't want to work with a star

Not the case... AFAIK (based on talking to people who have played with Habana test systems), any real performant applications still need to be hand optimized with their assembly.

Since it says his favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd, it is fair he is using the name as Storm and Hipgnosis designed all their major album covers. Hopefully he paid for the name...

> The difference is 8 more GB of RAM that comes at a steep premium This is incorrect. The RTX 6000 has 24GB of VRAM and is $4000, and the RTX 8000 has 48GB of VRAM (double the amount) and is $5500. Is it worth the price increase? For a l

Well Apollo 10 was the last time NASA let the astronauts name the CM and LM, precisely because they named it Snoopy. I think it is well known that in general the early astronauts had a pretty good sense of humor (along with balls of steel)

I know a lot of people using LVT transistors in 28 and 16/14nm processes, including relatively low power (mobile and embedded) designs. I personally have used LVT variant SRAM blocks for both our 28nm and 16nm designs, and ULVT cells m

The fact that private lenders are incentivized to give out more and more leads to universities charging more and more. Even with all the money being spent, the same (or in some cases less) level of education is being provided. On top of tha
